... Sulfated derivatives of the galactomannan family have multiple biological activities. In the present study, sulfated galactomannan from fenugreek gum (SFG) were prepared by chlorosulfuric acid/pyridine (CSA/Py) method. In order to acquire the derivatives with the highest degree of substitution (DS), the experiment optimum conditions of the sulfation were determined by Box-Behnken design (BBD). The ...

... Entomopathogenic fungi based microbial insecticides are considered as safe alternatives to chemical pesticides, which secretes several bioactive compounds to kill the host insects. In this study, we report a new approach for the synthesis and characterization of insecticide toxic protein IF8 produced by the Isaria fumosorosea 08, and to evaluate the mycotoxin level against the vector of Huanglongb ...

... The polyphenolic-polysaccharide complex was isolated from the dried aerial parts of the medicinal plant Agrimonia eupatoria L. using a multi-step process involving the degreasing of the plant material by extraction with organic solvents, followed by extraction with hot alkali, neutralization, further separation with organic solvents and dialysis. The complex was homogeneous with a molecular weight ...
